Crock Pot Chronicles: Chicken and Wild Rice

Tried this delicious fall recipe this week.  It was amazing, and super easy.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.


Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice
(serves- 4-6)

2lbs chicken breast cut into large bites
1 can Cream of Chicken WITH HERBS
1 box Uncle Bens Wild Rice (chicken flavor)
1 can sliced carrots
2tbl bacon crumbles
1 cup Chicken Broth
salt, pepper, to taste
1tbl minced garlic
olive oil


1. Sauté garlic in olive oil over medium to high heat.  Add Chicken, salt and pepper, and cook through.

 



2.  Sprinkle bacon crumbles in the bottom of slow cooker.  Layer Rice on top.  (Reserve seasoning packet)

 

 

3. Layer chicken on top of rice.

 

 

4. Sprinkle carrots (drained) over chicken (I think you could sub yams or sweet potatoes here... or even squash/zucchini).

 

5. Mix the soup and chicken broth.  Then pour over the top.

 

6. Sprinkle herb packet reserved from box of rice.  Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until rice is tender.

7. Stir all ingredients before serving.

I'm telling you... delish! It is rare that I can find a recipe all four of us will eat with no argument or bribery. I sure hope your family enjoys it as much as ours did!
